Plants look picture perfect! I'm amazed that I see no critter, bug, or any damage. That would be a rarity here.
 
Are those Live Oak leaves in the Jalapeno container?

At this point in time I think I have the best pepper grow right now tha I have ever had. Critters, bugs, and 2 legged pests know that I have no mercy when it comes to my garden.
There are Live Oak leaves in and on everything right now as leaf drop just finished recently. I have some very old large ones here, I think one has a trunk about 6 feet across.

I cannot tell you first hand as this is the first I have grown them. Here is Refining Fires Chilis description:

Antep Aci Dolma-(Capsicum annuum)-The Antep Aci Dolma is large sweet bell pepper type developed by researchers at Ankara University in the country of Turkey, They can grow to the size of a grapefruit. But what makes them unique is they are much sweeter than most bell types and also have the heat level of a hot Jalapeno type! The Antep Aci dolma ripen from green to dark red. The skin has large wrinkles and folds in the outer flesh and is very thick. The Antep Aci Dolma Chile plants grow over 4 feet tall. The peppers are great for roasting, stuffing, sauces and salads.

I will give a report as soon as I get a nice red one.

 

sounds freakin awesome, you better let us know how good they are. I might add these next year

This Rocoto Montufar is finally starting to kick some serious a$$.

Roared ourselves off a cliff last time..  

 
Oof.

 

[skullbiker]

First ripe one and first year growing these.
 

 
Three jalapenos, top down: wonky Emerald Fire, Mucho Nacho, Paquime Hybrid.
 

 
Something looks a little off here, these came off of a Numex Jalapeno Orange Spice.
 

 
Todays quick picks.

Wow, money shots already!

Ooh, gorgeous color on that Emerald Fire. The other jalapenos are looking good too.

Yesterday I tried out that ripe Hatch Green Lumbre X-Hot pepper. Obviously not a super hot but definately the hottest hatch type chili I have eaten. Initially it was like a fairly snappy jalapeno, but after a few minutes it left behind a substantial residual throat burn that lasted about a half hour! I can definately see making a hatch chili sauce out of these. 
 
Description on Sandia Seeds website: This is one of our hottest green chiles and when it hits your tongue, pain signals rush to your brain. Then your brain releases endorphins that cause a mild euphoria, so you feel better and want more green chile!  The molecule responsible for making the hot burning sensation is capsaicin and each new bite stimulates the brain to send out more endorphins to soothe the pain. Pods are small at 5” long and are screaming hot. Plants grow to 30“ tall. A good addition to any garden. Grown near Hatch, NM and sold as Lumbre X-Hot.  Capsicumannuum (85 days) Heirloom - Open-Pollinated
Heat Level: X Hot  Scoville: 10,000
  
Description on Heritage Seed Market website:  “Lumbre” (Hatch Double-X Hot) is said to be the hottest of the Hatch NuMex type of chiles, even hotter than Barker's Hot. A spicy green chile, 4-7” long, this is a great one for roasting and then adding to chili, tortilla soup, or tamales. It can, of course, be eaten in the red ripe stage as well. According to my research, Lumbre was developed by the folks at Solar Dry Chile farm in Hatch, New Mexico.

Did it taste like a Jalapeño?

It had the taste of a good red/ripe hatch type with the heat of a good jalapeno.

 

[skullbiker]

Looks like stuffed peppas for dinner tonite!
Stuff Enuff to the left of the Dew, Colossal Hybrid to the right. Generally the Colossal Hybrids will get larger as the plant grows.
 

 
And every once in a while, an excellent Cherry Bomb specimen shows up.

You should call your Cherry Bomb, MOAB [emoji16]

don’t think I’ve had a hatch type pepper

Congrats on the pods, they look great! My mouth is watering, and the hatch (Hatch Green Lumbre X-Hot pepper) , I'll be growing that next season for sure

 

[skullbiker]

Ohhhhh Mannnnnn, you really are missing out if you have not eaten roasted or smoked hatch peppers/big jims, etc. 
Think about this: you cannot eat them any younger!

Not the biggest one so far this year but perfect looking.

Thanks, I have a couple more of those Hatch Green Lumbres starting to ripen, will see how they compare to the first one.

alright, fine... added to next year’s grow 

 

[skullbiker]

So, last fall in September I had planted some Emerald Fire Jalapeno seeds and had one plant that turned out like this with a single pod.
 

 
I saved the seeds from that pod and planted a few.
 

 
And now I have these.
 

 

 
If things go right I should have next gen peppers in less than a year.
 
Unrelated, but I think I have a mushroom growing in one of my Cherry Bomb containers.

Now that I no longer have to report to duty, I need to get in your groove. Where you never stop growing. We "almost" never stop, but parental travels...they're in the mid 80's..
 
I do have the lettuce in the plugs now
